Williams, angry at his failure to get a hit in his first appearance at the plate, flung his bat in disgust toward the Red Sox dugout.

Wilson Hurls Third Shutout For White Sox f . .(■■ ■ ■ By MILTON RICHMAN United Press Sports Writer Jim Wilson, a strong, silent pipe-smoking type, wouldn’t sit too-well with Joe McCarthy, but the White Sox are sitting pretty in first place today because of his three shutouts and 1.04 earned run average, best among all pitchers in the majors. McCarthy made no bones about his dislike for pipe - smokers. White Sox skipper Al Lopez, on the other hand, wouldn’t care If the 35-year-qld Wilson puffed on cornsilk as long as he pitches the way he did Wednesday night when he stopped the Senators on four hits 5-0. Wilson didn’t allow a hit until the fifth and pitched his way out of bases-loaded jams in the eighth nnd ninth as he chalked >up his fourth victory and ran his string of consecutive scoreless innings to 18. Walt Dropo homered off Washington southpaw Chuck Stobbs, who dropped his seventh straight game without a victory. By winning their fourth straight game, the White Sox retained the American League lead by a halfgame over the Yankees, who defeated the Athletics, 3-0, on Tom Sturdivant’s five - hitter. Cleveland used seven pitchers, in scoring a 16-inning, 11-8 triumph over Baltimore, and Boston beat Detroit by the same 11-8 score. Redlegs, Braves Share First In the National League. Cincinnati climbed back into a firstplace tie with Milwaukee by defeating Philadelphia, 72, as Brooks Lawrence struck out 11 batters: , St. Louis licked New York. 6-5, in 14 innings; Brooklyn toppled the Braves, 3-2, in 10 innings, and the Pittsburgh-Chicago game was postponed because of cold weather. "Die Yanks scored all three of their rims in the first inning off Ned Garver with the aid of shortstop Joe DeMdestri’s error. Sturdivant, who gained his second triumph. has now gone 30 straight innings without giving up an earned run. Rocky Colavito drove in the tiebreaking run in the 16-inning marathon between the Indians and Orioles. George Strickland then drove in two more. Starter Bob Lemon was knocked out for the seventh straight time and Cal McLish was declared the winner. Mike Fornixes wa* the 3oeer> Vte< Wertz homered lot the Indians. Mickey Vernon and Jackie Jensen drove in seven runs between them to hand Detroit an 11-8 setback. The Red Sox rapped out 16 hits in handing Frank Lary his fourth defeat. Reliever George Susce was credited” with the victory. No. 4 For Lawrence Lawrence held the Phils to five hits, one of them a ninth-inning homer by rookie Ed Bouchee, in posting his fourth victory for the Redlegs. Cincinnati collected its first three funs off rookie Jack Sanford, who dropped his first game after four straight victories. Smokey Burgess homered to help the Redlegs to their 13th win in the last 14 games. Hal Smith’s 14th inning single drove in Del Ennis with the winning run in the Cardinals’ victory over the Giants. Larry Jackson. St. Louis’ sixth pitcher, picked up his fourth victory while Al Worthington suffered the loss.

Little Don Zimmer’s fourth homer of the year in the 10th inning off Lew Burdette gave Brooklyn its victory over Milwaukee. Reserve first baseman Frank Torre gave Braves’ starter Gene Conley a 2-0 lead with a two-run double in the sixth but Gil Hodges homered in the seventh and the Dodgers tied the score with another run in the eighth. Clem Labine was the winner in relief of Don Drysdale, who gave tip {Milwaukee’s only two hits in the seven innings he pitched. The Dodgers made only four hits, three of them off Conley.

Indiana Wins Big Stale Track Title LAFAYETTE (UP) — Olympic broad jump champion Greg Bell set a new meet record as he sparked Big Ten indoor champion Indiana to the Big State track and field title Wednesday at Purdue. Besides jumping 26 feet 4V< inches, Bell, who set a state college mark of 26-6‘/j last y/ar, also won the 100-yard dash, placed second in the 220 and tied for sixth in the high jump. His leap, the second best of his career, broke the 24-4 mark set by George Meagher of Notre Dame in 1935. Willie May of Indiana, which dethroned defending champion Notre Dame by amassing 110 points, accounted for the oily other meet record. May skipped over the low hurdles in :23.9 around a curve. The old mark of :24.1 was established by Tom Hughes of Purdue in 1954. The meet, . run off in a chilly biting wind with gusts as high as 20 miles an hour, developed into a two-way fight between the Hoosiers and Notre Dame. The Irish finished second with 94*4 points. Purdue was third with 34. Indiana copped firsts in seven of 14 individual events. The Hoosiers’ mile relay team pulled a surprise by defeating Purdue’s Big Ten indoor championship crew and Notre Dame’s Drake Relay title foursome. Notre* Dame notched five victories, with Purdue and Butler each grabbing a first. Following Purdue were Butler 18, Hanover 17 1-3, Ball State 16 5-6, Wabash 8 7-12, DePauw 6, Franklin 4, Evansville 3, Indiana Central 2 and Indiana State 1. Deer Are Reported Seen Near Geneva A couple of deer have spotted near the Tom Sullivan farm north of Geneva and about one mile west of highway 27, district conservation officer Jack Hurst reported today. Several have been spotted on the Sullivan farm before, and they have even been seen running with the cattle. Hurst estimated that the county’s deer population could be as high as 15 now. Several have been reported near Geneva, and others have been seen in all parts of the county. Last spring several reports of pairs with fawns were received. No farms have been seen yet this year, he reported. Refere? Is Blamed For Loss Os Fight CHICAGO (UP) —Willie Vaughn, an under - rated middleweight, blamed Referee Walter Brightmore today for his defeat Wednesday night by eighth-ranked Bobby Boyd. Strangely, though, Brightmore gave Vaughn the decision in the bout by a 46-45 count and both judges voted for Boyd to give the Chicago fighter a split decision. ”1 know he voted for me," Vaughn said, “but every time he broke us, he pushed me off balance and threw me halfway across the ring and left the other guy alone. 11181 cost me the fight, I think.” Major League Leaders By UNITED PRESS National League Player A Club G.
